Status updates are a tax on doing the work.

Everyone knows it. Leadership wants visibility. Teams want to ship. So we invented meetings, reports, dashboards - rituals that create the feeling of alignment without the substance.

The team resents the overhead. Leadership still feels out of the loop. Nobody wins.

What if visibility didn't require reporting?

A snippet is a weekly summary of what a team accomplished - written for the people outside the team who need to stay informed.

Not a task list. Not a dashboard export. A story.

The kind of thing a great chief of staff would write if they shadowed your team for a week and then briefed leadership. Complete enough to stand alone. Shareable as-is. No follow-up questions needed.

The best teams already do this

They just do it manually. Someone - usually the most organized person on the team - spends an hour every Friday pulling together what happened. Synthesizing. Translating the work into something stakeholders can actually absorb.

That person is doing the most undervalued job in the company.

We think it should be automatic.

What a good snippet does

Creates visibility without asking.
Reduces the reporting burden to zero.
Builds organizational memory - a searchable record of what actually happened, week by week.

A stakeholder reads it in two minutes and thinks: Got it. I know what this team shipped. I don't need to schedule a meeting.

That's the goal

Every team. Every week. A clear, honest account of the work - without anyone having to write it.

That's what we're building.
